Answer each question based on the corresponding image description. Write your answers in complete sentences.
The image of a volcanic eruption producing lava which flows down a mountainside, solidifying into igneous rock.
Explain how igneous rocks are formed and give an example of one type of igneous rock.
The image of sedimentary rock layers being compressed and heated under the earth's surface.
Describe the process of how sedimentary rocks transform into metamorphic rocks.
The image of a mountain landscape with erosion visibly occurring, where rocks and soil are being carried away by water and wind.
Discuss the role of weathering and erosion in the rock cycle and their impact on rock formation.
The image of a quarry where large blocks of rock are being extracted and workers are processing them into smaller pieces.
Identify the types of rocks being extracted from the quarry and explain their significance in both natural and human-made environments.
The image of a river flowing over rocks and depositing sediments on its banks.
How do sediments contribute to the formation of sedimentary rocks, and what are the classifications of sedimentary rocks based on their formation processes?
Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten rock (magma or lava). An example of an igneous rock is granite.
Sedimentary rocks transform into metamorphic rocks through a process known as metamorphism, which involves heat and pressure that alter the mineral composition and structure of the rocks.
Weathering and erosion break down rocks into smaller particles and transport them, contributing to the formation of new rocks in different locations, thus playing a critical role in the rock cycle.
The types of rocks being extracted from the quarry are likely to be sedimentary rocks, such as limestone or sandstone. These rocks are significant because they form reservoirs for water and fossil fuels, and are used in construction and as raw materials.
Sediments contribute to the formation of sedimentary rocks through the processes of compaction and cementation. Sedimentary rocks can be classified into clastic (formed from fragments of other rocks), chemical (formed from mineral precipitation), and organic (formed from the remains of living organisms).
